Chapter 259. Choice (2)
The dinner turned into an unhappy event because Han Yifeng did not sign the contract on time. It was already 7 p.m. when Han Yifeng arrived and everyone had been waiting for a while at the dining table.
Xi Jiyang and Deng Wenwen went over, but Xi Mushan was busy, so he was absent.
The dinner did not go well. As a result, the Yue family left angrily soon after dinner. Upon seeing their reaction, Elder Han was enraged as well and he swiftly left after that too.
“Yifeng, didn’t we talk about it already? Why aren’t you signing it now?”
On the staircase outside of the villa, Huang Ziyao who was on her way back could not hold back her curiosity and asked Han Yifeng, concern in her eyes, “Be honest with me. Are you doubting the legitimacy of the child? I saw Secretary Wang going to visit a doctor the other day. I could feel that something wasn’t right in addition to the chaos recently… but Xinyi insists that it’s yours…”
Han Yifeng took a deep breath and looked at Huang Ziyao, his cold face softening slightly. “It’s alright. That’s my child, but things are a bit complicated between Xinyi and I. There’re a lot of things I need to consider. Mother, please give me some time. I hope I can have a marriage like yours and father’s… a one-and-only kind of marriage.”
Huang Ziyao was stunned for a moment. After giving it some thought, she nodded. “Okay, I’m sure you’re exhausted by all the things happening lately. Sigh, was I wrong to support you and Xinyi back then? Now that I think about it, Xiaye might have suited you better. Plus, your grandfather likes Xiaye more. He cares a lot about reputation. If it weren’t for the incident in the military school, he wouldn’t have agreed so quickly. Well, since you’re sure the child inside Xinyi is yours, then you have to bear the responsibility.”
Huang Ziyao sounded a little depressed. She stopped when she saw Han Yifeng not being very pleased. “No matter what, the Han family needs to be responsible. Moreover, the Han family doesn’t have many descendants. Do you understand me?”
“Yes, Mother, I understand.”
